Mammogram ultra missed polyp mri now scheduled
At this point I’m just hungry for support. Saw aereola changes last July while moving to a new state. Saw Md in September and received immediate mammogram and diagnostic ultrasound for palpable small polyp underneath areola. Results only showed very dense breast tissue. I should’ve known, but didn’t do the research about…

Upper back/shoulder blade pain / Chest CT & CT angiogram
Last year, I went through TC chemo and then 30 doses of full chest, armpit radiation. During radiation, I developed a weird feeling in my back, directly behind my affected breast. It's near the bottom if my scalpula. If I squeeze my shoulder blades, there's discomfort in that area. During that time, I had a ct angiogram…

Hip Pain
Hello, I just had my breast reconstruction last Feb and Sept 2024. A Latimus Dorsal. Eight years after my mastectomy and chemo. Just before my surgery last Sept. I suddenly hurt my hip/groin area at the gym, so I thought, it was that. My x-ray does look like osteoarthritis there. It wasn't even gradual, it was a sudden…

There is a lot of anxiety that comes along with this.I like to be able to follow up with people, but sometimes it is very hard to keep track of everyone…

MRI Biopsy
I am 8 years out from triple negative BC and have been doing well. My last mammogram showed a very small area of concern. Watch and wait was suggested but my last cancer was very aggressive and grew quickly so I'm not inclined to watch and wait. I have asked for a biopsy but because it is so small, it will be difficult to…

Recurrence after mastectomy
Hi, I just found out there’s a tiny nodule with residual DCIS, 10 months post mastectomy. I’m freaking out about these new findings. Has anyone experienced a recurrence post mastectomy? My surgeon plans to perform a lumpectomy followed by radiation. I’m terrified it will have spread elsewhere since recurring so quickly.…

Worries about local recurrence
Hi Everyone, it's been awhile. I just passed my 3 year cancerversary, and it's been a tough ride. In a nutshell, I feel like I've aged about 20 years due to stress and having all the estrogen sucked out of my body. I've also struggled with AI side effects and had several legit health scares (all turned out ok or at least…

Liver Pain
I’ve read that pain is not a common symptom for liver metastasis, but it can happen. For anyone that did discover that cancer spread to their liver and had pain -can you describe it? Is it central to one place, does it tend to move around, is it constant or intermittent, worse with activity or rest? I think I am dealing…
